Exploring the Environments of The Witcher 2

New trailer is proof that CD Projekt has made one of 2011's prettiest games.

The Witcher 2 is coming out in a few weeks, so naturally the folks at developer CD Projekt RED have been dropping videos on us left and right in an effort to get us pumped to continue Geralt's adventures. For my money, the one released today is the most impressive thus far, detailing some of the beautiful environments Geralt will visit during his travels across the kingdoms of Temeria, Kaedwen and Aedirn. As you'll notice in the video, the environments are all painstakingly handcrafted and feature a dynamic day/night system as well as some impressive lighting effects.

Although there are console versions of The Witcher 2 in the works, it's highly doubtful that they'll look as good as the PC version. We'll be bringing you more on The Witcher 2 in the coming weeks, including our full review.

Will says: Hot damn is this game looking good. I have to admit that I never played the first game (mainly because my PC was too crappy at the time), but I'm definitely going to give this one some serious attention. It looks like CD Projekt RED's decision to build their own engine from scratch for The Witcher 2 is paying off in a big way.
